Help Support Classic Goldwings:
no its a 1200 with a 1200 in it ....this bike is modified like hooch is and is the second one made ...
yes the early 75-77 371 cams
But you are almost over the top of the frame from how it looks in the picture.
I short riser plate, may get you above the frame, then you have all the room you need.
I like that threaded rod can be used, to mount the air filter that give you a lot of choices

Hey Ian,
You were over on the CGW site, on the thread I started over there, and I directed you over here.
Glad you made it here.

One of my conversations with Tom the engineer.
Tom said if your engine starts and runs and you do Not need to choke it, you are Too Rich.
My bike does Not like the Choke to be used at all.
Being in the perfect air/fuel zone can be a wide area.
There is a wide range of perfect mix, 14.7:1, Maybe to lean for me, I want a slightly Richer Power Zone.
So I may not make my Best gas mileage, as i want max. power, I am willing to sacrifice some mileage.
But lets hope Mileage numbers come out to be as good as stock, or better.
I would love to put on a Vacuum gauge on my bike, to show when the air/fuel mixture is best, while riding.
